Happy-Go-Lucky

Post navigation

I watched acclaimed director Mike Leigh’s lighthearted comedy Happy-Go-Lucky last weekend. I do not know how to talk about it now except that it is extremely entertaining. Anyhow, I posted a trailer up there. That should do the trick. Everyone reading this should just watch the film. ■

Poppy seems pretty cool. I bet this movie is about how, underneath all the outward happiness and acceptance of her life, she really needs a man to complete her, right? I find that kind of thing incredibly offensive. Where are the movies about people who are just happy being themselves, who don’t need to succumb to social pressure to be fulfilled?
